How to Naturally Lower Uric Acid Levels and Reduce Gout

As a researcher and author, John provides information in an easy-to-understand way that helps readers understand their condition.

Uric acid, a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines, affects many people. Purines are normally produced in the body and are also found in some foods and drinks. A build-up of uric acid can cause hard crystals to form in the body and result in immense pain. Luckily, there are several natural methods to help lower your levels of uric acid.

Four Ways to Naturally Lower Uric Acid Levels

Eat cherries

Drink water and stay hydrated

Drink a baking soda solution

Change to a low-purine diet

More and more gout sufferers are moving away from costly drug-based medications, with their nasty side effects, to natural ways to decrease uric acid. Below are some simple tips on how to lower uric acid levels in the body naturally, without turning to drugs.

1. Cherries Can Help Lower Uric Acid Levels

This is the natural remedy of choice for many gout sufferers. Cherries contain anthocyanins, which have anti-inflamatory properties—ideal for gout attacks. Additionally, research has also shown that they can lower uric acid serum levels. This is why cherries are such a powerful weapon against gout.

In terms of how much to take, estimates vary between 10 and 40 cherries a day to help prevent attacks.

During a gout attack, sources have suggested 30 to 40 cherries every four hours.

Cherries can help lower uric acid serum levels.

2. Drink Water and Stay Hydrated

While staying hydrated is already generally important, it's even more crucial that you do so if you have high levels of uric acid.

Make sure that you drink between two and three liters of water every day. Drink small amounts regularly throughout the day. Water helps the kidneys to process and flush uric acid out of the body.

Drinking water helps to lower your uric acid levels.

3. Drink a Baking Soda Solution

Consuming a baking soda solution may help to dissolve uric acid crystals, and in turn, increase uric acid solubility.

How to Make a Baking Soda Solution:

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to 8 oz of water. Mix thoroughly.

Drink a maximum of eight glasses daily. One before bedtime, one when you get up in the morning, and one every 2 to 4 hours between meals.

Repeat until the symptoms have gone.

Note: Since baking soda is high in sodium, make sure you change to a salt-free diet whilst on this remedy. Also, it's best to avoid this remedy altogether if you suffer from high blood pressure. While you can take it as long as you monitor your blood pressure closely, it's better to err on the side of caution.

Drinking a baking soda solution may help to dissolve the uric acid crystals in your body.

4. Change to a Low-Purine Diet

You may want to look into changing to a low purine diet. Since uric acid comes from the breakdown of purines, and purines also exist in our foods, a gout sufferer needs a diet that is relatively low in purines in order to lessen uric acid levels. This also means avoiding high purine foods completely.

Foods to avoid: The general types of food to avoid are: fatty red meats, offal, poultry, and certain types of seafood including mussels and scallops.

Cut alcohol: It's important to avoid alcohol. Beer in particular is a trigger for gout.

Foods that make up a low purine diet: Foods that make up a low purine diet include: essential fatty acids (like salmon), low fat dairy products, complex carbohydrates (like bread, cereal, pasta, and rice), and fruits such as cherries, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes.

Switching to a low-purine diet can help reduce uric acid in the blood.

What Is Uric Acid?

Before you start taking actions to lower uric acid levels naturally, it's important to understand what uric acid is, where it comes from, why high levels can lead to gout, and why you need to reduce high uric acid levels in the blood.

So, first things first: What is uric acid?

Uric acid is a by-product of the chemical breakdown of compounds called purines that exist in our bodies' cells and in our food. Purines are very important to us because they provide energy and protein, among other important components. During those processes, uric acid is produced in the bloodstream.

Uric acid is good for us because it acts as an antioxidant and helps look after the internal linings of our blood vessels. It's our kidneys' job to process the uric acid produced and excrete waste out of our bodies through our urine, or also a little through our stools.

What Causes High Uric Acid in Blood?

While the kidneys usually maintain uric acid at healthy levels, there are times when they are unable to do this. In turn, what results is that excess uric acid is retained in, and circulates in, the blood.

Two of the main causes for high uric acid levels in blood are:

The kidneys aren't working to their full potential. They are unable to process and expel sufficient uric acid quickly enough, or

There is too much uric acid being produced by the metabolizing purines for healthy kidneys to process.

Whatever is the case, the result is high uric acid in the blood.

What Is the Result of High Uric Acid Levels in the Body?

Hyperuricemia: High uric acid levels in the blood is a condition known as hyperuricemia. Over time, this can lead to the production of uric acid crystals. Technically speaking, these are crystals of monosodium urate, which can settle in the joints, tendons and surrounding tissue.

The body reacts defensively. The crystals are needle-like in shape and are looked upon as foreign objects by the body's natural defenses. In turn, the body's natural inflammatory processes working against these crystals are what actually cause gout symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, inflammation, stiffness, and very great pain.

These are the symptoms of a gout attack. In other words, high uric acid can lead to gout, which is why it's important to decrease uric acid levels in the body.

What Is Gout?

Gout is an extremely painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. These uric acid crystals can deposit in other tissues throughout the body, such as the kidney, which can lead to kidney stones. Gout is more common in men over the age of 45, but it can occur in anyone. Factors ranging from a family history of gout, to having other health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease, can increase your risk of developing this problem.

Dangers of Recurring Gout

Many folks are unaware of the dangers of recurring gout. It can be very damaging if one chooses to not deal with their gout in a proper manner. Proper manner, in this case, refers to doing all that one can to prevent recurring gout as opposed to just treating present symptoms during an active attack.

Here are some of the major risks:

It has been known for some time that frequently recurring gout can lead to permanent and serious joint damage and kidney problems, like painful kidney stones.

But, recent studies have associated hyperuricemia (high uric acid) with heart disease and stroke. Some have even associated hyperuricemia with a higher risk of death!

If this is your first gout attack, know that you have a much higher chance of more attacks. In fact, it's almost certain, unless you take proper measures to prevent recurring gout. So, again: you need to not only eliminate gout symptoms during an attack, but prevent it from recurring time and time again.

Hi Mike, thanks for your question. Apart from, say, poppy seeds at 170 mg per 100 g, spices have relatively low purine concentrations so, on their own, are highly unlikely to raise your uric acid levels. What you would need to check for are any other ingredients that are mixed with the spices or spicy sauces and that could be high in purines.

Hello,

Very good info on your site. I have had gout symptoms for a number of years and am aware of many of the do's and don'ts concerning food and drink. I have a question that I have never seen addressed.

I cook with a lot of spicy dry rubs and peppery,spicy sauces. I love savory food and can't imagine not using my spices and sauces. The question is-should I be worried about these hot, peppery items. Will they, or could they already have, raised my uric acid levels?

This is a very good source of information. I've had kidney stones for about 8 years now. I've been watching what I eat, and not eating lots of other stuff because it would be potentially bad for me. In the past few weeks I had a suspicion that my uric acid might be going high, and now some of my joints are hurting (the first for me) I am going to try the tips here and hopefully it would help me, at the same time I am trying to pass some kidney stones. I know lots of fun.

@Arup Dutta - Try the tips in the article to help reduce your uric acid naturally. They worked for me. I have a hub titled 'How-to-Lower-Your-Cholesterol-Naturally-Without-Medication.' You might want to visit that for cholesterol. Thanks for your question.

@Leong Cher - Exercise is good, especially because being overweight may raise the risk of gout. As I said to Arup, try the remedies laid out in the article. I can't give a timescale because everone's case is different. One thing I will say, is not to reduce your uric acid levels too fast, as this in itself can trigger an attack!

My daughter is a Nurse Practitioner. She encouraged me to go grain free. I eat chicken, fish, and some pork. No alcohol, no bread, no noodles. Be careful of hidden gluten in products. I also eat loads of vegetables, fruit, high quality whey protein (no sugar) with fruit in it. I don't eat penut butter (grain) but instead almond butter. I rarely have rice, no corn or corn products, ie tortillo chips. I drink almond butter with no sugar. I drink bottled water with lemon. I use sun dried tomatoes with olive oil to flavor fish and chicken. It's great. I stopped taking allopurinol. I truly believe that the enormous amount of grains (glutin) is too hard on your system. Try eating clean and see if it doesn't make you better.

Max, thanks for your comments. You say you suffer from pseudogout. If this has been diagnosed as such by your doctor then there is a big difference compared to actual gout.

Gout is caused by 'uric acid' crystals (actually monosodium urate crystals) which can be dissolved and eliminated from the body. And, as well as drugs to do this, there are natural remedies several of which I have highlighted above.

Pseudogout (meaning 'fake' or 'imitation' gout), on the other hand, is caused by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals which, unfortunately, cannot be dissolved and eliminated. There is no cure as such. The treatment for pseudo gout is, basically, to manage the pain and inflammation and try to prevent joint damage.

Unfortunately, my article focuses on gout, not pseudogout, so the natural remedies I list really are not appropriate, nor any of the resources / references I have listed.

The best way forward is for you to work closely with your doctor. You seem to have made positive steps in terms of a healthy lifestyle and diet. One thing I would say is to talk with your doctor about any dietary changes you make. Good luck!

Catherine, the best encouragement I can give is not to lose heart, be patient and keep a positive mindset in order to reach your goals. And, as I always remind people here, work closely together with your doctor on a plan of action best suited to your particular needs. Don't do anything or make any changes without discussing with them first.

Neetu, 5.4 mg/dl is below the 6.8 mg/dl generally recognised as the critical level for gout. If you are taking uric acid reducing drugs then it seems as though they are working. You must talk to your physician about any concerns you may have.

AN... I'm not a doctor (read my Disclaimer at the end of the article) and cannot help you in terms of the medication you are on. My only comment is that Zyloric is a Xanthane Oxidase Inhibitor used to reduce uric acid levels and sometimes these types of drugs can actually make the symptoms worse when taken during a gout attack.

You do not mention if you are taking anti-inflammatory drugs for the inflammation and pain. Do not stop taking your drugs, talk to your doctor about your concerns.

UTI doesn't cause gout. But someone with recurring gout can suffer from uric acid kidney stones which can put that person at a higher risk of UTI than someone without stones. Again, consult with your doctor.

In terms of your diet, bear in mind that there are certain vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, and cauliflower that are high in purines.

Hi JCielo,

Last month I had a severe pain in my one of the foot and I was unable to walk. Docter advised me for blood test which resulted in high uric acid level (9.9).

Currently I'm having Zyloric (100 mg) tablets three times a day for the last 25 days, however pain is still there and has even started in second foot also.

I have a history of recurrent UTI (once in two yr) for the past 7 yrs.

Please suggest whether I should opt for some other medicine and what diet I should take.

Hamid, thanks for leaving your comment. But I have to point out that I'm not a doctor! I'm just a guy who has suffered badly with gout in the past and who took responsibility for my own health by researching the subject thoroughly.

First off, 3 gout attacks in 10 years isn't all that bad. I used to have several a year before I learned how to manange them.

Because of your allergic reactions to the drugs mentioned you need to try to adjust your diet. Everybody can change their diet to some extent. Even if you don't want to avoid those foods you listed, at least reduce the amount you consume. For example, limit yourself to a maximum of 6 ounces of lean meat, poultry, or fish per day.

@J Sykes... Please don't give up! There is a remedy / remedies out there for you.

Remember, that not everything works for everybody as everyone's metabolizm is different. You just have to find what's best for you.

For example, I can eat shellfish (reckoned to be a gout time-bomb) till the cows come home without triggering an attack, but if I overdo the beer then that's a different matter. On the other hand, wine doesn't cause me a problem, but does for my brother-in-law.

The things that have worked best for me, maintenance-wise, are my healthier low-purine diet which I stick to, eating lots of vegetables and fruit, and drinking plenty of water. The key is to find what works for you and stick with it religiously.

I haven't had even the sniff of an attack for a number of years now.

Gout is very painful. Most doctors and experts say that the main cause of gout can be attributed to diet and genetics. I also read that gout flare ups can arise if one is drinking to many sweetened beverages. So try to cut back on the soda... Also take vitamin C that helps with gout..
